‘I Want to Knock Him Out More Now’ The UFC’s Best & Worst Tattoos | Tattoo Artists React

You should always be careful when you run your mouth about somebody's tattoos, but when you're talking smack about a UFC fighter you better be ready to catch a beating. We showed our panel of tattooers some of the work by notable professional butt kickers like Conor McGregor, Brock Lesnar, Cody Garbrandt and others. Get ready to hear some real fighting words!
Welcome to Season 17 of Tattoo Artists React!
We’re baaaaaack! We have a brand new cast and a whole new batch of questions for our panel of tattoo artists. This time around we’re going to be tackling all of the tough subjects-what should a tattooer never do, what kind of tattoo is a dealbreaker to spot on a first date and more. We even gave everybody a spelling test. Yeah, you heard me, a spelling test. Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be a wild season!

It’s actually crazy how so few people know that a majority of UFC fighters are underpaid. Even the ones make 6 figures still have to give a significant portion of their paydays towards paying their managers, coaches, gyms, medical expenses, etc. Not as much money in the game as we’re made to believe.

[@Larrybobangles]

lol people with no knowledge talking about fighter pay is laughable. They are not underpaid. If they fight 3 times a year assuming they make a 25k to show and 25k to win thats 150 and after taxes and payments for fight camp, flights etc they probably take home around 80k and thats above average annual salary. Stop crying and fight more

Should’ve showed chito Vera, awesome collection got some stuff from Franco Vescovi and an awesome, AWESOME leg sleeve. Sean Brady just fought last weekend he has an insane collection and might have a better leg sleeve than chito. There’s TJ dillashaw who gets work from Oscar Akermo. The middle weight champ has a full top of back to back of knees back piece and there’s many sick collectors fighting now a days. Most people y’all showed aren’t even in the ufc anymore. And hopefully we see some sick lettering on no love soon. He comments on a lot of big meas pictures on Instagram

Its funny because all these expert artists are rocking tattoos that are just as bad in every way, if not worse 😂😂

Seemed like they wanted to poke fun at people, most of whom are not even in the ufc anymore and got their tattoos early-mid 2000s rather than showcase actual tattoo enthusiasts within the ufc currently. But it’s inked

[@cutebutevil7387]

This is about the 3rd one of these, he might have been on an earlier one or they might include him in the future. I think they just google UFC fighter tattoos and go with the first few that come up. If you aren't into the sport you don't know who to look for.

[@cutebutevil7387]

@@belloscuro9039 Apart from the fact that there wasn't enough people to have "most of them" do anything, they come up when you search UFC fighters and didn't get all the work done in the early 2000s. If you want to make accusations maybe get a fact right. Just one would do.

TJ Dillashaw has the best tattoos in the UFC. I think literally the only problem is that parts of it are very popular nowadays and over done: lion head, clock etc. BUT it looks incredible and is done impeccably.
